Lowe's Home Improvement has announced that they will be closing 51 'underperforming' stores across the USA and Canada. The stores are scheduled to be closed by February 2019, and include the location at 5770 Read Blvd in New Orleans.

According to a statement from CEO/ President Marvin Ellison 'While decisions that impact our associates are never easy, the store closures are a necessary step in our strategic reassessment as we focus on building a stronger business'.
